Subject: Kaypro-10 Disc Stuck

I have a Kaypro-10 which was working fine when I stuck it in the closet
about a year ago. When I had occasion to resuscitate it recently, I
found to my dismay that the hard disc would not spin up. It makes a
couple of muffled "clunk" sounds when I power it up, but that's it. The
computer is OK, because I can boot it from floppies, but needless to
say, the HD has 99.9% of my files on it (I know, I know... backups :-(

Anyway, does anyone out here know of a way to jumpstart the disc short
of physical destruction? I looked for little holes and tool access
ports but found nothing obvious. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.  If I get it going, I will probably soon post a "Kaypro 10
for sale" ad, so the person who solves the problem gets a good
discount.

Thanks,
